"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Nice to see

a former ME writer on stage, even if he wasn't the one accepting the award. Go Fury.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And now we never EVER have to Love Raymond again.

I never even liked Raymond, even a little.

Our wings are not tired.

I didn't watch the show when it ran new, but I have enjoyed it a few times in syndication. Not a big sitcom person though.

Well, I topped off the show with the quick hurricane reports. Doesn't look like I'll get anything much from Rita. Good thing because I don't have any way to shutter the new area yet.

I was surprised to see that we're up to the Rs. K was only like two weeks ago!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, this is crazy, right? We don't usually get this many named storms, do we? And what if there are more than 26? Do they start on the next year's names?

Possibly I could google instead of just asking here.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They should start doubling up letters. If storm 27 is called Aaron Aardvark, I want some sort of royalty.

Ha! But no. Thanks to google and NOAA:

Subject: B6) What happens if they run out of names on the list?

In the Atlantic and East Pacific, if they have run through the list they then used the Greek alphabet : Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta,... etc. . So if they ever have a Hurricane Omega you know it's been a busy year. In the Central and West Pacific they have a perpetual lists of names, so when one list is through they simply start on the next.

Since the name list has been started in the Atlantic in 1950 the furthest they have gone down the list has been Hurricane Tanya in 1995.
